About Me

Hello all! Thank you so much for your interest in my work. I’m excited to share bit about me!

My name is Jewel Millard aka Geekyloft!

I’ve been an artist and avid gamer for a majority of my life. “Geekyloft” started out as my gamertag and online username when I first started college in 2011. 

On a random weekend in 2019 some friends invited my partner and I to their house to play our first game of D&D (Dungeons and Dragons). This began a 3 year campaign that rekindled a childhood love of folktales, mythology, and magic!  Role playing games such as D&D have given me a way of exploring topics such as self-identity, loss, and my growth as both a person and artist. Now most of my work depicts ideas of fantasy, whimsy and escapism through the use of underglaze painting and surface designs.

In 2022 my partner and I bought our first home which allowed me to finally set up my own ceramic studio and purchased my first kiln. After nearly a decade of working for other people I decided to take a leap of faith and allow myself to create work that resonated with me on a deeper level. Since then, my work and interests have evolved and I’ve had the privilege of exploring multiple mediums such as ceramic, resin, gouache and digital painting to develop a body of work that I feel reflects me.
